No, not the Radelaide cool kids, the Brisvegas cool kids!
And maybe these cool kids
Where? When?
Riverbar & Kitchen, Eagle Street, Brisbane. 2-4pm, 30 December. So tomorrow!
How do I get there?
If you're getting the train or bus it's about a 10 min walk from Central Station or King George Square. If you're getting the CityCat then it's a 2 min walk from Riverside Ferry Terminal.
There's plenty of parking down near Eagle Street if you're driving, although you might struggle to find free on-street parking, so be prepared to pay.
Brisbane. So pretty at night
Is there an agenda?
Not really. In the one meet-up I went to so far in Panama, we went around and introduced ourselves, but that was about it. If people have shit to say, then, by all means, say it. This isn't work. Your pay for next year won't depend on you saying something intelligent "that aligns to the company goals". There's no boss or dude from HR that you need to impress. Steemit is fun and the meet-ups should also be fun.
Brisbane's balls (for @mattclarke)
But I'm an introvert and scared of real life people
Lucky for you I'm not. Don't worry, I can get the conversation going. You might actually have fun. Plus we're in a pub so if all else fails we can just get drunk. That's usually a good way of lowering people's inhibitions in a relatively short amount of time.
Brisbane's so cool it has a fake beach unlike all the other the capital cities with their real beaches. Although Darwin's beaches have crocs on them, which puts it in the "iffy" category.
Your best offer on how to spend your Saturday afternoon.
So come-on!!! I've checked the weather, and it's going to be hot so it's not like you'll be doing any yard work. You'll probably just be sitting at home listening to your kids whinge about wanting to going to the crowded, fake beach at Southbank. Ignore them and come to the pub with us instead. 😁

hope you guys all had fun :)
We did. I guess I'll have to write it up now.
You should go to the Melbourne one: https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@datascience/melbourne-meetup-planning
And you still haven't come into Team Aus in discord. You should, it's fun. And the conversation is pretty low brow most of the time--you'd like it!
Lucky! Loved my time when I had visited the Gold Coast, hope to stop by that part of Queensland on my return trip to the area.
It is a good spot, yes.
So how did the get together go???
I decided to have one in Darwin as well - only 3 people turned up - @plumey and @plumey and @plumey (Me, Myself & I).
It was a quiet affair but there were plenty of beers and bullshit all around. Can't wait for next year to see if everybody turns up again?
(I'm still the only Team Australia Steemian in Darwin!!! - Gotta find a way to fix that! )
Happy New Year to All.
Wow!!! This is a great post. I'd havve to fly out to meet all of you, which I would love to do... but then there are all the associated headaches, so I'll just wait until you outline your Australia Tour and catch you here in Perth. Right?
Lol. Why does everyone keep asking me to organise all the meet-ups?
LOL... If you read carefully, I'm not.
This sounds like fun
i would pay good money for a day at that fake beach... or any fake beach. minus the people of course. cuz iman introvert.
Good money would be about US$1500-2000 return from LAX.
lol i know. not happening. hawaii is closer
And they have very nice real beaches. Much better idea. Plus you won't need a visa waiver.
yeah been to oz once. id rather try thailand if i ever get that wealthy again
Wow! Looking good there!.............///////
Will be there!
Wait outside for me okay? 😂
How 'bout I wait inside and save you a seat.
Oh come on choo! It's not like it's -30 C there 😉
-30C. Canada is so wrong.
How about a Sydney one? You guys should come to Sydney for a quick visit too!
You should organise one. I'll promote it for you.
Haha Okies! I’ll think of something in a few days. I’m worried nobody will be interested haha
Have fun everyone!
That's the plan.
I'm about 3 hours drive away in northern NSW, would love to join you all but have something on for tomorrow unfortunately. Next time!
That's alright. A 6 hour round trip is quite a lot anyway.
I have been known to travel quite a long way for a beer or two at the pub :-)
Lol. You must be thirsty!
I want to go to this sooo bad!
You and @scaredycatguide need to organise the Miami one. I'll 100% come to that. I got points to use up by April so I can get a free flight.
Perfect, it will be in march so set that date aside!
I am not to sure about kids. They can be dangerous.
That meet up sounds like fun! I wish I was there to meet you all guys in person ^^
One day Eric. I'm still annoyed I didn't go to steemfest with you and martibis.

Sounds so fun! I wish I could go <3 it is freezing here! That fake beach looks great to me:):):)
Summer in December is good. I like it.
Have fun and don't forget to share some photos, if you're feeling shy you don't have to post the ones where you're all drunk!
Lol. I'm sure there will be at least one post made, and at least one awful photo of me will find it's way onto the block!
Are you going to share you handbag with us as well? I've nominated you for What's in you handbag challenge. Go on, have some fun!!!!!
It's coming.
Great job for organising the meet up, have fun :)
Too bad you live in Melbourne. It would be good if you could come.
awe man... I would totally hang out with these cool Steemians! I hope to meet you all at the next steem fest!
Oh, I'm going to that for sure.
Thanks for the invite, @choogirl. :) But I've retreated back home to the (real) beach. Have fun, peeps!
Ok, thanks for letting me know.
OoOOo!!! Happy Days! I am of course expecting lots of selfies and photos from everyone on this meet! Enjoy you guys!
Thanks Arly. I'm sure at least one unflattering photo of me will find it's way onto the block.
Can you come along if you haven't officially joined Team Australia yet? (Never written an introduce yourself post but I'm still #teamaustralia through and through).
Of course. Please join us.
Damn. Sounds like fun. I would have probably gotten drunk and did the worm on the dance floor or bar?? Hope you all had fun!
Embarassing dad move? I wish you were back for this. It would be cool if you were coming too.
South bank would be awesome, sushi and ice cream on a nice day. Have fun!
We'll be in city not Southbank, but yes, Southbank on a nice day is good.
O great, Brisbane... have fun yall!
Thanks mate, that's the plan.
I am jealous! I wish I could join you, kids.
How can I organize something like that in Cambodia?
Discuss with some others in your area, pick a date and venue then make a post. That's pretty much it.
Coincidentally, I was watching a Brisbane tourism video before I saw your post. Amazing pictures.
None of them were taken by me, I'm way too shit at taking photos. They are all from pixabay except one (all the sources are listed).
Brisbane's a great town! I got to go there once but unfortunately I'm halfway around the world at the moment. ;) Hope you all have fun!
Thank you! Yeah I'd rather be here than in Germany right now.
I'm definitely going to try and come to these when I come back to Australia!
You should. Or organise one there. There's plenty of people in Germany on here.
I attended the Munich meetup last month and going to do again this month!
Oh nice.
salam kenal kawan hopefully we become good friends .oya me from indonesia and you can greet from indonesia for your family there
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing
Follow you and appreciate if you follow me
I foolish thought I might be the first Australian on this platform... sooooooo mistaken. Looks like I'm years too late. Is there a #TeamMelbourne I could connect with?
There's a Melbs meeting in the works.
https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@datascience/melbourne-meetup-planning
Thank you so much @choogirl, that's great news!
See you soon :)
Oh wow...You will have so much fun !!
I suppose it happens now ^_^
Wish you plenty !
Oh thank you. We did. And yay for your art.
Have fun together :) Wish I could be in australia too :)
Thanks we did. A lot of people wish they were in Australia.
muy lindo post!!
Gracias.
Hey!
Lovely to see people from Brisbane gathering! Sadly i am on the other side of the world but i have relatives in Brisbane. I know that they travels a lot and maybe i'll try to convince them to join steemit and write some of their Europe traveling experiences!
I wish you all a pleasant meetup!
Oh no I got the dates of my flight back from Sydney mixed up and missed the Steemup. Sorry guys would have been great to meet you all.
We were wondering what happened to you, given you were pretty keen on this. Oh well, it happens. Next time.
Hope you all had fun!
So does every Australian capital city have its own set of balls?!
It's so sweet you thought of us introverts who are terrified of real people. I've got a year to see if I can psych myself up for Matt's next meeting!
I have no idea. I'd actually forgotten about Brisbane's balls until I found that image. And yes, you should totally go to Matt's next meet-up.
Hope you had fun!
We did. It was a good afternoon.
You're such a great soul here on steemit.
I wish you a magnificent New Years and I'll see you in 2018! 🤸♀️🌸🤸♀️
Xx
Elena
Thank you!
I would like to put a day together on the Red Cat sailboat to Taboga for the day. I have ulterior motives and will apply for a position on it ( maybe ) want to see the operation first hand. Taboga is a very cool Island or the Pearls are sweet too but last visit was really dead there.
The future looks bright indeed :-)
Have a very Happy new years eve, see you onn the other side.
Cheers
Nice. I don't know where that is though. Is it near Panama City?
Leaves from Trump Towers. http://redcatpanama.com/
Glad you guys had fun! and happy new year .
Happy New Year to you as well.
Love the comment about getting drunk @choogirl! How long are you in Australia for?!
Saturday morning. So busy at the moment. Real life getting in the way of steemit life!
Where are all the pics? Or have you all destroyed the evidence???
Next time you have a Brizzy meet up, let me know and I will fly up :)
Hi, @choogirl, I am living in Sydney.
I would like to join the teamaustralia, but I do not know how to join.
Would you please help me. Many thanks.
